Could this be a blast.exe issue?

Using the Windows command console, if I change the working directory (cd) to

Documents\blast\bin\mine" -i "C:\Documents and Settings\patnaik\My
Documents\blast\bin\hairpin" -m 7

   [2] "C:\Documents and Settings\patnaik\My Documents\blast\bin\blastall.exe"
-p blastn -d "C:\Documents and Settings\patnaik\My Documents\blast\bin\mine" -i
"C:\Documents and Settings\patnaik\My Documents\blast\bin\hairpin" -m 7

But neither ([1] for obvious reason), nor 'bin/blast.exe -p ...', etc., work if
I move out of the directory that has 'blast.exe'. The console displays:

  [NULL_Caption] WARNING: Unable to open Documents.nin
  [NULL_Caption] WARNING: Unable to open and.nin
  [NULL_Caption] WARNING: Unable to open My.nin
